A large company from Moscow decided not to go to Turkey, Europe or to the country for the May holidays, but to visit Our Russian Crimea again. AND DON'T MISTAKEN!!!
We rested from April 29 to May 5.2015 at the Dream by the Sea Hotel (Alupka). We settled in one junior suite and five standard rooms in the Climatopavilion building.
About the hotel: without exaggeration, this is the best hotel located on the first coastline, with a guarded, very clean, well-groomed and beautiful territory, as close as possible to the Vorontsov Palace and the city center. Strangers cannot get into the territory, which is very nice, unlike all other hotels, where there is practically a “gateway”.
The rooms are clean, with good furniture and bathrooms. All rooms correspond to the photos and configurations indicated on the hotel website.
Before the rest and during the rest, we discussed and resolved all questions with the hotel administrator Julia. A wonderful young woman, very honest and decent. Everything that was agreed in advance and all the possible wishes that arose, Julia managed to solve in favor of the vacationers, that is, us, completely without any additional payments (which you rarely see in our life).
We understood that during this period we would not be able to swim and sunbathe and initially set ourselves the goal of visiting as many sights as possible located between Yalta and Sevastopol. Take my word for it, we visited almost everything, hired a minibus for 18 seats (for ridiculous money compared to Moscow) and rode along the entire coast. We do not describe where we were, due to the fact that everyone has their own interests, but personally we were interested in everything. For example, the cost of a taxi (4 people) from Yalta to Alupka (20 km) is 500 rubles. Total.
We ate at different places (depending on where we traveled). There are two places in particular that you should definitely visit. Alupka city center (near the monument to Lenin) - Summer cafe: high quality, tasty, for real money (compared to other cafes in the center). We recommend the ATV supermarket and the market in the morning near the Lenin monument - everything is local, fresh and of high quality. The second place where you definitely need to eat is Mount Ai-petri, there are many cafes, prices are the same everywhere, choose what you like best, taste wines (it's free) and enjoy hospitality. We advise you to go up to Ai-petri by funicular, and go down by private taxis (the price is the same, 250 rubles per person). Going down by car, you will visit a beautiful waterfall and a less pretty, but with a beautiful view, the Silver Gazebo. In Yalta, all cafes and restaurants on the embankment are expensive (Moscow prices), choose for yourself.
If you decide to relax in Alupka, then Dream by the Sea is the most suitable and appropriate hotel for a normal vacation. But you need to know that:
1) The hotel does not have its own beach, you can swim 50 meters away on three public free beaches. There is a pier, where you can perfectly sunbathe and go down the stairs into the water.
2) According to the administrator Julia, this year there will be no breakfast included in the price of accommodation, the restaurant will most likely work.
3) All standard rooms on the second floor of the Climatopavilion have their own balconies with furniture and exceptional sea views (the sea is 30 meters away). The junior suite (2nd floor) does not have a private balcony, there is a shared terrace. On the first floor of the Climato-Pavilion there is a common walk-through balcony for all rooms.
4) On the territory of Sna by the sea there are individual private cottages, one cottage for rent to vacationers and 2 hotel buildings, so do not be surprised if they grill barbecue or ride a quad bike on the territory - this did not stop us.
5) If you want to have a pompous holiday, you can rent an individual cottage, located all in the same protected area, just above the Climato Pavilion.
We carefully selected and reviewed the information and reviews about a large number of hotels located in Alupka (we wanted to rest in Alupka), we can objectively recommend the Dream by the Sea hotel - you will not regret it.
We do not recommend the hotel Mare Nero, which is hyped and beautiful from photographs, because of its location: the sea is not visible from the hotel (quite remote), there is no territory, the restaurant is common for everyone - very expensive, "passage courtyard". A beautiful fountain and stylized hotel rooms are not what people go to the sea for! But everyone chooses for himself and for himself.
Good luck and have a good rest!
